“Piercing The Veil”

by Rafael Guajardo

It’s that week again. Although I don’t celebrate Halloween or Samhain by dressing up anymore, I can’t help but feel the real magic of the holiday during the week. I do, indeed, feel that we somehow pierce the veil between our everyday world and into the realm of our dearly departed and ancestors. The astrology of this week doesn’t disappoint with that.

Monday morning brings together teacher Jupiter and pupil Mercury in Scorpio, cautioning all of us to heed spiritual messages and lessons left for us in dreams, omens, or in the most random ways. Look for the bigger picture now, and you may see it. Give more time to understanding subjects that are usually difficult for you.

The Veiling Moon

There’s a lot happening on Halloween. The Moon edges closer to its darkening phase at the Last Quarter. This quarter of the Moon leads to more reflection and contemplation. It’s a crisis point of consciousness rather than physical action. You must absorb and reflect on what you’ve been processing since the seed moment of the New Moon from October 8. As you sponge these lessons up, then you must, like the Moon’s waning light, release it—either more into yourself or the world “out there.”

Reaching across

Venus continues her journey and transformation. Two big things happen for her. She dips back home into her sign, Libra, and has another powerful opposition with unpredictable Uranus. She last had this tango with the weird outer planet on September 12th. You might think back to around that date to see what was brewing for you. Check your phone call and text logs, your email, or your journal to see what you were mulling or dealing with. Especially anything related to love, relationships or connections. This is a possible revisit of that.

As she darkens the door of her home again in Libra, she brings understanding from her dark times in Scorpio. She’s been through hell and back. This bodes well for romantic relationships that’ve teetered on the brink of serious changes. It’s also a healing signal for other ways we’ve experienced ruptures in other relationships, whether at work, at church, or with colleagues, friends or even strangers. It’s the more the cliched “reach across the aisle.”

Yet this reach isn’t conditioned by a goofy and untutored optimism. It comes from acknowledging your dark feelings yet pushing for the light of common ground that you know is and must be there. It’s recognizing that mending fences must happen on both sides of a boundary, not just one. Yet, someone on one side might have to initiate the mending. If you’re reading this, perhaps the Cosmos has chosen you. Don’t wait for it if you’re not willing to make for it.

How to read and use these affirmations

You could choose to read these only for “your sign.” Perhaps that might be your Sun, Moon, or ascendant sign, if you’re familiar with those terms and your chart. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that, though.

I would skim through them all and see which affirmation affirms your life this week:

Pay careful attention to the affirmation(s) that you resist. You probably need to meditate on and say those aloud often.

These affirmations are written for this week, but many of them might speak to you for longer, even a lifetime.

You might not know at the top of the week what you need to affirm. But you might have a sense from the previous week, from a dream or something that happens right on Monday morning. You can also visit this page later in the week to see what resonates. You might also discover I write more for another planet or sign in your chart. I talk more about this here.

My desire is to prompt you to read more for your whole chart, not just what you know or understand your birth chart to be. It’s also possible that none of what I write here speaks to you, and that’s okay. The goal is to open and to explore. That’s the only way we ever truly know anything.
